HopScotchNSoda:Heyyyyyy, check out Oswin's belt. Is it just me, or do those lines of studs running down look like she incorporated her "Dalek bumps" into her self-awareness? The rectangular electronics holsters along the side are also evocative of those vertical panels above the bumps, below the dome of most Daleks.

Upon closer inspection, I do believe she did stealthily incorporate "Dalek bumps" into her design

Mike Chewbacca:I saw it coming when she made the other Daleks forget him

Of course you saw it coming. THAT WAS THE ENTIRE POINT.

"Man, this is so predictable. When a plot point is revealed, I can think through the implications of that before the show spoon feeds me those very same implications."

Look, if you want unpredictable, hook a word processor up to a random number generator. I guarantee that you'll never know what comes next. But plot points follow in a logical sequence. If anyone you know was surprised by the fact that all the Daleks forgot the Doctor, after a character explicitly told you that she made the Daleks forget the Doctor, you must have some kind of brain damage that prevents your memory from functioning the way it's supposed to.

Flint Ironstag:*Of course I am ready to be corrected on this with dozens of examples that I have forgotten.

Would you settle for knee-jerk, white-hot nerd rage and patronizing accusations that you're a lightweight poseur who is clearly just riding the bandwagon and has probably just only watched a few BBC America episodes from the last season or two? It's a holiday, let's skip all the boring research and go right to the fun part!

Mad_Radhu:TheManofPA: HopScotchNSoda: For all of the criticisms I can make about Russell T. Davies' episode writing, he was outstanding with so many of the the big-picture aspects, and I think he struck the more-or-less perfect balance with regard to story arcing during his tenure, particularly his first three years. Why he so completely cocked up Torchwood last year, I have no idea.

deSelby:At around seven minutes in, when Daleks are banging on her door, what are they saying? It sounds to me like "You will express Hitler. We wear chaw." but for some reason I doubt that's the genuine dialogue.

No, they were skinhead redneck Daleks. So they were indeed saying "You will express Hitler. We wear chaw."

t3knomanser:Also, the emphasis on "Doctor who?" is going to annoy the crap out of me, isn't it? Every once in awhile, they have to do a nod to it, and that's fine. But since Dorium's announcement, they're going to hammer it until it's dead, aren't they?

If stupid poopface weinerhead Michael Grade-inspired BBC hadn't canceled the show in 1989, they were going to get into this very question in 1990.
